After receiving this great rig I tore it down and redid the suspension which I post later about.

After a adjusting a few things and putting in a Rockstar 530 brushed motor and stock axial ae2 in it ran great. Not much wheel speed but enough to get over everything I was aiming for.

I started the 6x6 with the GMC body, well with the bed it just didn't look right with the extra on the back end.

 

[ANoodle]

Well after running it at the Diablo Crawlers New Years bash I relised that I needed more wheel spin and better looking body that will fit the chassis.
So I have seen the 1979 Ford body around and fell for it. I havent ran it besides on my waterfall in the backyard but it does pretty good.

So new upgrades:
Brushless motor: Roc412, Pro 4 HD, etc
Wheels: CNC Custom Wheels is who I am going to for some down right sweet wheels that no one has.
Tires: Maybe Proline Super Swampers or cut the CI Deuces Wild foams as they dont have enough give when hitting the rocks.

Under construction front axle: XR Mod with some brass inner axles and universals.

You rig is very cool. Who made the chassis?

 

[Stuck]

Rig looking sweet Noodle! I have been looking at the RCX chassis. Gonna have to take a good look next time i see this thing.

 

[WesleyRoy]

What did you used for cross braces, do you have some pictures of the chassis, more complete (with crossbraces, electronics, battery etc.).

I just received mine RCX chassis and love the quality, however the scx10 chassis, has a curve in them so the space between the two rails are smaller on the outside. The RCX chassis are flat. That's why it has the same width overal.

 

[snapon boy]

I used aluminum links a 70mm between my frame rails.

[WesleyRoy]

Thanks, and how did you mount electronics?

 

[WesleyRoy]

Oh sorry i understand it now. By using 70mm links you gain the same width as stock SCX10. And rails just bent like that way?

 

[snapon boy]

Yes and carbon fiber for battery and esc tryac
